Netiquette Common Abbreviations - Netiquette IQ Blog Of 5/11/15

=====================================
Generally, Netiquette discourages using abbreviations when not necessary or helpful. These most typically are words are not accepted by the most popular dictionaries or those that can lose meaning for those with whom English is a second language. Examples are "thx" for thanks or "rgds" for regards. The following list is outside of this category because they have almost always been written as abbreviations and are even used by other languages with exactly the same meaning.

The list below includes the most common of these abbreviations. Although they are abbreviations, they are also often misspelled. Be careful with the periods!

There are many similar aspects which I discuss on my book, "Netiquette IQ - A Comprehensive Guide to Improve, Enhance and Add Power to Your Email"
